To all whom 11/; may (urn/(207 12,: mounted in the base-plate andextends there- .llc it known that l, Joan W. llt'nssn'nn, a through fora purpose to be described. The 5 citizen of the United Eitatcs, residingat ltiatt, pinions 17 and 18 are litted with removable in the county ofl Bullivan and State ol Pcnnsocketed wrench-heads 20, secured by pins llsylvania, have invented new and useful lmor in any other suitablemanner. ljlilloreutproveinents in l l heclwright l\tlachines, ol sizedwrencli-heads will be provided to enable which the following is aSlJQClllUiLlQlUll. the machine to operate on nuts ol dill'erent 55 Tillyinvention relates to a wheelwright-masizes. The pinions IT and I8 rotatein oppochinc, and has T01 its object to provide a site directiol'is, andone ol their] will be for I0 simple and ellicient machine for screwingscrewing on while the other will be for unnuts on and oil tire-bolts andalso for cutting screwing nuts. The pinion '18 will be used ol'l ortrimmingthe projecting ends of the for unscrewing nuts, which dropthrough the 60 bolts. tube 19 into a box 2.2 thcrcuinler, which is Theinvention consistsinccrtain novel itez.- supported on a bracket 23,secured to the turcs oiconstructionhereinafterdescribed and base-plate.This facilitates the operation ol. claimed, reference being bad to theaccomthe machine, as it is not necesszngv to stop and panying drawings,in whichcollect the nuts by hand, and the operator 5 Figure l is aDGISLMECtlVG view of the macan therefore rapidly pass from one bolt tochine, and Fig. 2 a plan view thereof.

The base-plate 10 is The outer end of theshaft 13 will be fastened litted with a cutting-blame 33, which projects4 in the drill-chuck, the drill-bit lirst being refrom the front endthercol, being dovetailed moved and the machine will be operated bythereinto. A movable cutting-blade is indithe rotation of thedrill-spindle in the usual catcd at 3%, being carried by a slide 35.This 9 manner. The lower end of the shaft 13 is blade is also dovetailedin. The slide works littcd with a pinion 16, which meshes with a alongthe under side ol the base plate. being pinion 17, and the latter pinionmeshes with supported on lningers 36, secured to said plate, a pinion18. The pinion .17 is suitably jour- The slide is slotted, as at 37, toclear the tube naled in the base-plate 10, and the pinion 18 19. A pinor bolt es cntends transversely is last on a tube 19, which is rotatablythrough the slide. at the rear end thereoil, and

through a slot 39 in a lever 40, which is fulcru med to the base-plate,as at 41. The lever 4:0 is connected by a link 42 to an operatinglever43, which is fulcrumed to the base-plate, as at 4A. The lever a0 isforked and extends on both sides of the slide, the connection betweenthese parts being the same on both sides, so that the movement of theslide will be in a perfectly straight line and no binding thereof in thehangers will ensue.

The operation of the machine will be apparent from the foregoingdescription. To unscrew a nut, the wheel is positioned as shown bydotted lines in Fig. l. The drill-spindle is then rotated, which rotatesthe wrench-heai'l on the pinion 18. As the nut clears the bolt it dropsdown the tube 19 into the box 22. To screw on a nut, the wrench-head onthe pinion 17 is used. The end of the bolt is cut off or trimmed byplacing it between the blades 33 and 34 and swinging the lever 43. Theblades can be readily removed for sharpening. hen the blade 33 wears, itcan be slid forward and a block &5 inserted behind it, as shown in Fig.l.

A machine constructed as herein described is easy to operate, has nocomplicated parts to get out of order, and effectively serves thepurpose for which it is intended. Minor changes in the construction andarrangement of the various parts can be made without departing from thescope of the invention, and I do not desire to limit myself to theprecise construction shown, except as hereinafter claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what is claimed as new, and desiredto be secured by Letters Patent, is

1. in a wheelwright-machine, the combination of a base, a rotatablevertical shaft journaled therein, a pinion on the shaft, a pinionjournaled in the base and provided with a socketed wrench-head, and anintermediate pinion in mesh with the aforesaid pinions and also providedwith a socketed wrench-head.

2. In a wheelwright-machine, the combination of a base, a rotatablevertical shaft journaled therein, a pinion on the shaft, a tuberotatably mounted in the base, a pinion on the tube and provided with asocketed wrenchhead, a receptacle under the tube, and an intermediatepinion in mesh with the aforesaid pinions and also provided with asocketed wrench-head.

3. In a wheelwright-machine, the combination of a base, an uprightthereon, a rotatable vertical shaft journaled in the base and upright, apinion on the shaft, a pinion journaled in the base and provided with asocketed wrench-head, an intermediate pinion in mesh with the aforesaidpinions and also having a socketed wrench-head, and a lever pivoted tothe upright and having bolt-holding means.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN WV. RUSSELL.
